Charity funds up for grabs

CHARITIES and community projects in the North Chichester area are being urged not to miss out on potential funding.

North Chichester County Local Committee (CLC) has more than under £12,000 left to allocate from its Community Initiative Fund for the 2014/15 financial year.

Committee Chairman Michael Brown said: “Due to publicity before our last meeting we had the opportunity to give grants for the purchase of musical instruments to lend to children; solar panels for an allotment shed in the Petworth Community Garden and a lawnmower for a local community centre.

“We’d still love to help more people, and I’m sure there are lots of wonderful – and worthy – charities or organisations that would benefit from a ‘pre Spring’ boost.”

The deadline for applications is February 6.
